Description
Preparing the child for improved upper extremity function requires organization of the trunk and postural control. Good hand use requires the ability of the arm to reach into space from a stable base of support. This video discusses the relevance of early development to the establishment of functional hand and arm use. Treatment strategies are presented for preparing the upper extremity and enhancing the functional experience of the hand and arm.
